Vieux Château Certan
On the Pomerol plateau, close to the border with Saint‑Émilion, Vieux Château Certan embodies rare continuity: roots reaching back to the 18th century, and a defining chapter since 1924 under the Thienpont family.
Fourteen hectares sit in a single, contiguous block, harvested and vinified as a patchwork of parcels. Gravel, clay, sand and the iron‑rich crasse de fer create Pomerol’s tension; here they are interpreted through an unusual varietal profile for the appellation—significant Cabernet Franc, a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot as the core. It is a blueprint for depth without heaviness and freshness without sharpness.
In the cellar, origin sets the tempo: separate lots, rigorous selection, then élevage in French barriques. The grand vin reads as architecture—quietly layered, finely structured, and unmistakably tied to place, where heritage is felt in the discipline of every decision.Vieux Château Certan
